in the history of the country. Last
winter bounty of ten cents was of
fered to any one who killed prairie
dog, while the reward for exterminat
ground squirrel was fixed at five
cents. This was not considered an
extravagant rate, but 69S,971 prairie
dogs and 153,7O9 ground squirrels
were killed and the treasury exhausted
of ready cash. The Legislature was
convened to decide whether it was best
to borrow money and continue the
determination or discontinue the boun-
ties. They repealed the law and the
prairie dog and squirrel now roam
the sage brush fields with none to
modest or make them afraid.
